Claim boundaries

• General habitat-connectivity evidence identifies an assessment dimension; it does not determine the outcome for an unspecified site or project.
• Infrastructure-specific guidance applies only after the proposed project type and jurisdiction are established.

Diagnostic context only. Cite independent evidence for claims about the world.
